CIA knew about paramilitary links

So my first post a not so personal but pretty interesting. Basically the national security archive has published documents that reveal the fact that the CIA knew that the Colombian Armed Forces were committing extrajudicial killings (basically murdering people and then dressing them up as guerrillas and presenting them as armed combatants killed in combat) as early as 1994. But yet the US went ahead and helped fund the Colombian Armed forces. Check out the full story here.

New Years Resoluion

OK so it has been six months since the las time that I posted anything on this blog. Probably no one even reads it any more but one of my new years resolutions is to keep in better contact with the people that I know. Since I do not see most of you in person frequently I am going to try and keep in contact with you all in other ways like this blog. So happy new years, feliz año nuevo and here is to blogging.
